Please Urge the French Governmnet to Protect The Crow Honeyeater

  • al: Ismail A & Patricia Losch
  • destinatario: The France Prime Minister Mr. Manuel Valls , Minister of Ministry of Agriculture, Food, Fisheries and Rurality Mr. Stéphane LE FOLL to afford more money for conservations in New Caldonia and protect The Crow Honeyeater.

The Crow Honeyeater is a very large honeyeater with orange facial wattle, it looks like a crow with its glossy black plumage and curved beak, this bird is endemic to New Caledonia, lives in humid forest in attitude from 100 to 850 m, in the south of the island in small populations. A survey made in 2000  estimated their number between 1,000 to 3,000 birds , a new survey made in 2012 show that their is a high decrease in their population and they are now between 75 to 374 individual in total, that is why it is  considered as Critically Endangered in the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN).


Threats are forest loss and degradation because of nickel mining (the Vale nickel company, Eramet SA , South province), widespread logging, hunting and a rat that has been  brought to the island by the first settlers. The French Government pays no attention to the conservation of New Caledonia, and because it is part of France it doesn't qualify for funds to protect its biodiversity through traditional international sources, its really horrible to know that the French Government which enact a law about animal rights its not care about whole species in New Caledonia and do no effort to help the conservation or fund them and prefer nickel mining and logging in the existence of this species.
